How do I change the default programme to open pictures when downloading? It always proposes Windows Live Photo Gallery and I have to change it to Windows Photo Viewer every time. Why can't I make it automatic? - the tick box is greyed out.

I can not right click "open in new tab" nor open in new window, in my bookmark file.the bookmarks are all there, but I have to open a tab first then left click to open an item. Why can't I right click? The options are there, but not highlighted/clickable.

You can only sync to one computer.
You would have to transfer purchases, but the apple ID would need to be the same.
Or find a 3rd party app to transfer content.

Disable anti virus softwrare if installed
Check your settings in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options
Make sure Gatekeeper is enabled
Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected. If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.
OS X: About Gatekeeper
Then try downloading Quicken > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Just so you are aware, "all sales are final" as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE: TERMS AND CONDITIONS
But you can at least ask for a refund > Apple - Support - Topic Selection

Help with making photoshop the default program to open pictures.

I subscribe to Adobe Creative Cloud and use Photoshop the most. I of course want all my pictures to have Photoshop as the default application to open them but I can't get it to work. When I go to "open with" to change to photoshop it doesn't automatically show up as one of my options so I go to "browse" and find it under program files, adobe, Photoshop cc but when I click on it and accept it won't keep it. It keeps going back to a different program. I can't change to default to acrobat or other programs, just not Photoshop. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.

How do I change my short name on Yosemite OS X? I can't seem to do it the way I used to change it all the time on Mavericks.

I can't seem to do it the way I used to change it all the time on Mavericks.
There was a text box after I clicked on the lock after I went to Users and Groups in System Preferences, but now it's gone.
By short name, I mean the name that appears on your lock screen when you log in.
P.S. I use a MacBook Air Early 2014 version, 13-inch.
I upgraded to Yosemite 2 days ago.

I found how to do it.
Go to SystemPreferences - Users&Groups - Right-click on your account at the left hand side bar- change your FULL NAME ONLY
If you change anything else the system might break but changing the full name causes no damage.
So I changed my name and am working fine with my Mac.
Cheers!

Why can't folders be bigger on the homepage of IPads,phones,and pods?, Why can't folders be bigger on the homepage of IPads,phones,and pods?

Why can't they uses the swipe feature like they do for multiple pages of apps? It gets frustrating having a whole bunch of folders that have the same content.

They probably can. They simply do not.

How do I change my default save or open of downloads

At the moment my downloads just get opened as a read-only file, I want to have them saved and opened automatically, is that do-able?

Flies that you open with another application are saved as read-only for your protection. If you want to modify them then you need to use "Save as" in that application and save them under a different name. If you would save them under the same name then your edits can get lost if that temp file is removed after closing the editor.

All over the web there are people with freecause trouble why can't I find help on the mozilla site

The best I've been able to do is go to about:config and change all the values attached to freecause but after any virus scan it turns itself on again How can I get rid of it

You need to find and unistall the software not just change the preferences. Read the articles that the blue text leads to.
There are two problem with toolbars uninstalling / removing toolbars
# Some anti malware scans do not find the software because it is something you choose to install, and some users will have deliberately installed such software and find it useful.
#Often probably to discourage uninstallation the names of the software do not make an obvious match with the toolbar name
In fact this article suggests that it is just a plain extension and easily uninstalled

Why can I not make my computer the base station

I set everything up on the computer, and accessed it through the iphone, but it will not let me do anything on my computer. It says there are no wireless connections.

There is nothing stopping you using your me.com account for iTunes. However if you do this, any content you had purchased previously with your earlier account will be inaccessible if it is protected, an app or an iBook. Additionally you cannot merge accounts or move purchases from one account to another, so unfortunately, I suggest you stick with the account you are currently using for iTunes.

I can't make ADE the default program to open EPUB and MOBI files

Hello, I can't seem to be able to make ADE the default program to open EPUB and MOBI files. I use Windows 7. I used to use a Firefox plug-in to view these files, and before that I used Calibre. I have been told that these are both inadequate. When I go into the Control Panel to change the default program to open these files, however, ADE is not listed as one of the possibilities (only Firefox and Calibre are), and when I search it just brings up Adobe Acrobat. Any advice? Thanks, Bill.

I think I have answered my own question. This time I clicked on Browse for the program to set as the default, and I selected the Downloads program, and there it was. For some reason I had to re-install it several times, and it kept re-installing and re-installing. But all seems to be OK now.

HT204150 How do I change my default email on the "Me" contact from a Facebook email to my normal email address in the same contact? Or at least change it for the autofill information?

How do I change my default email on the "Me" contact from a Facebook email to my normal email address in the same contact? Or at least change it for the autofill information?
Perfernece for contact to change. Do I just have to dis-associate my contact fromt the facebook account? Is only the autofill changable?

If you allow Facebook to access your contacts and you have the @facebook.com email alias turned on, it will add the @facebook.com email to your contact info, and because it has the fixed label of "email" it overrides every other email address.
They didn't fix this in iOS 8.
There are two ways to remove the @facebook.com email from your contact info:
If you don't need your Facebook friends and their info updating your contacts, go into iOS Settings -> Facebook and turn off access to Contacts.
If you don't use your @facebook.com email address (all it does it forward to the primary email address) you can go into the Facebook app, More -> Settings -> General -> Email -> and uncheck "Use your Facebook email". Removing it from Account Emails does not work, you have to turn it off. Once you do this, go to iOS Settings -> Facebook and turn Contacts off and on again to make it update your info. The @facebook.com address should be removed.

How do I change the default settings for opening documents on my macbook?

Hi I would like to know how to change the default settings for opening documents on my macbook. Everytime I try to open a doc. it automatically opens with Textedit, instead of Pages or another program.

Select any particular document you wish to fix. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section select the desired Default Application from the dropdown menu. Click on the Change All button to extend the change to all similar documents.
You can only assign one default application to one type of document.

You are attempting to download the picture to your computer not uploading photo to the website if I am understanding you correctly.
To change the download direction, you must do so through your browser's Preferences. If you are using Safari, hopefully, someone who uses Safari will help you and/or post over in their forums. I do not use Safari.
